Where I was going with this is that now you have two transport networks to pay for, roads AND rails.
we "pay" for it in commodity prices, a part of which goes to shipping, a part of which is by rail (and a part by road, sea, air)
-
-
all transportation is interconnected and is paid for by users--you get problems of "how do we pay for it?" when not enough users
-
in other words, it makes no sense to build passenger rail if all passenger needs are adequately met by highways, as w most of US
-
but in American cities, highways AND railways are insufficient to meet demand, meaning congested roads and crowded trains
